I have lived at crossing place since august. The people writing these reviews have WAY too high expectations for $400 a month. People need to realize you are living in a college complex complete with loud music, beer cans, and alot of traffic. If you want to live somewhere quieter, cleaner, don't live in a student area like Riverside or West Campus. Secondly, I never had any problem with the A/C, the dryer, the furniture, or anything else people seem to be freaking out about. I did file a little maintenance request once and it was taken care of within a week. The walls are a little thin, but it is an apartment not the house your parents spent 20 years to buy. This complex is MUCH quieter than campus estates, unless you live in a building next door to them, but louder than the Villages across the street. Parking here can be a ----- in the evenings after 9 if you live in the front half of the complex and dont have a covered spot. My biggest problem has been riding the bus. 35 is a nightmare and gets worse by the day and so I am looking for somewhere closer to campus. the new owners are going to be repainting, adding lighting in the parking lot, and some other stuff i think. they already cut down a dead tree and started fixing things around the complex like the fences around the dumpsters. at least so far, no one from my apartment, 4 girls and 3 boyfriends, have never had a car broken into. and that could happen anywhere anyway. crossing place is way nicer than longhorn landing, campus esates, or the village. if this complex was not so far from UT, i would release. the people who are freaking out are expecting too much from college kids that work in the office and too much quality for $400. Get over it. or don't move out of your parents house.

Update: Some of what is said in other reviews is true: 1)silverfish problem 2)carpet is dirty and makes your feet dirty, apt. seems to never be clean even after you clean it 3)people in the office are annoyingly vague/unhelpful/wrong and 4)roommate matching doesn't really mean anything (did you honestly think it did). I still say that if I had to live in Riverside again, I WOULD consider releasing here, but WOULD HAVE ALL OF MY ROOMMATES AND NOT DO POTLUCK. I live in West Campus now and pay hundreds more a month and it's not really that much better (except location,location,location). The fact is that these are apartments and to make it worse, student apartments. Quality is not the management's priority, it's profit. So get used to it-they are going to charge you up, avoid fixing things they don't really find essential to fix, and cut corners. Same as any other for-profit business that caters to students/renters.

see, you have someone saying that it is a decent place to live for so little money, and you get an immature response from someone who totally missed the point of the review. The reviewer wasn't saying the area was great and didn't even say that it was a perfect place to live. It is what it is: a decent, affordable apartment far away from campus with it's own problems. The reviewer even said it had a bad location. But if this is what you an afford, it is a good option.

ITS FINE IF YOU LIKE THE GHETTO! Its not an immature response, its the truth! You literally live in the ghetto! And your paying $400 for one room, so the apartments are not cheap and should be better managed! Also, I don't need the reveiw I still live in this hell hole, but I am on a mission to warn as many people as I can about this place. Everyone thinks everything is fine until they have a problem, just wait you will soon change your mind.
